Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325F if you know your oven is really hot).
  2. Measure out all the ingredients, put in to a large bowl and beat until well blended (I use an electric mixer but you can do this by hand).
  3. Divide this between the two tins; level out and bake in the oven for approx 30-35 minutes, until well risen and the top of the sponges spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
  4. Leave them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before you turn them out; remove the paper and let them completely cool on a cake rack.
  5. When cold, sandwich them together with your favorite filling.
  6. Sprinkle caster or powdered sugar on the top.
